Infinitea Free Upsize today!

In celebration of their 1st month being opened here in Naga Road, Infinitea is giving free upsize today!

We went there earlier and we ordered their frappe and fruit tea drinks.


\

On the right is their Double Dutch which costs P85.00 and on the right is their Dark Chocolate Cookie Crumble which is also p85.00 for their medium drinks and since they have free upsize, we got their large size drinks!

We were so happy with the drinks we chose. I like the Double Dutch because it tastes like the Double Dutch ice cream! My husband likes his choice of Dark Chocolate Cookie Crumble. He said that he likes munching on the cookie tidbits.


For my daughter, I ordered Grape Fruit Tea for P50.00 for a medium size cup. I thought she will not like the taste but she did! Yeay! When I tasted it, it tastes like Zesto Grape drink but this is still a good buy because of the free upsize.

Chooks To Go

I am always curious how Chooks To Go chicken tastes. All of a sudden, I had an urge this evening to try this chicken. There was one near our place though it's a pedicab away. 


When I got home, I read their paper bag. In front of the bag, you will see the phone number if you want it delivered. I didn't know they deliver and I was anxious whether the branch I know actually deliver so I went there.


At the back of the bag (sorry for the photo) you will see their reheating tips. This is very helpful for me because there were leftovers and I always put them in the fridge if we have leftovers so we can still it the next day. As per the instruction, you have to reheat it by frying for 10 minutes.


So this is what's inside that paper bad. Taaddaa!!! By the way, this whole chicken cost P194.00. And so I tasted the chicken and in my opinion, it was too salty for me. Maybe this is because of the sauce that was in it when it was cooked or something but I find it too salty. But if you remove a bit of the saltiness, it tastes good. My sister said that the chicken was "malambot" and she actually liked it.

And so my craving has been satisfied. :)

Sweet and Sour Cream Dory

This is what we had for lunch yesterday and this is my first attempt to cook sweet and sour fish. And of course, this dish is made delicious by Del Monte. :)


Here's what you need:

1/2 kilo cream dory
2 small bell pepper, cut in cubes
ginger, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
1 medium carrot, sliced
1 pack Del Monte Sweet and Sour Mix, dissolved in 1/2 cup water
flour
1 egg, beaten
Bread crumbs

How to prepare:

- Cut cream dory in frying size, add salt.
- Drench in flour, dip in egg and drench to bread crumbs.
- Fry. Set aside.
- Saute carrots, onions, ginger and bell pepper for 5 minutes.
- Pour the dissolved Del Monte Sweet and Sour Mix.
- Allow to simmer until sauce is thick.
- Add fried cream dory.


Here's the finish product of the dish. There was no sauce on it. The reason behind that was because of the bread crumbs. So I would advise not to put bread crumbs on it when you cook this dish.

Pork with Mushroom in Creamy Sauce

Today's lunch, pork with mushroom with creamy sauce. I also got this recipe from the forum I am in. Thank you to my sisses who shared this recipe. My husband haven't tasted this yet but I love the creaminess of this dish.


Here's what you need:

80 pesos pork, cut into wide strips
1 medium onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
butter
1 small evaporated milk
1 small can of mushroom (I used Jolly)
salt
pepper

How to prepare:

- In a pan, put butter and saute onion and garlic.
- When garlic is slightly brown, add pork and continue sauteeing until pork is tender.
- Add mushrooms. Saute for 3 minutes.
- Add milk. Lower the heat. You can add generous amount of milk but make sure it's not too much that it's already a "sabaw".
- Add pepper and salt to taste.
- Serve.

You can also try beef instead of pork. 

Rellenong Pusit

I recently learned new recipes from the forum I am in. This is the same forum where I found Pork Kinamatisan recipe which was so popular and delicious.

I will share with you a seafood recipe using pusit (squid). Let's start.



What you will need:
1/4 kilo squid, cleaned
1 small carrot, diced
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
magic sarap
30 pesos ground pork
pepper
oil for frying
1 beaten egg
flour
toothpick

For marinade:
soy sauce
kalamansi

How to prepare:


- Marinade squid in soy sauce and kalamansi for 30 minutes.
- Saute garlic and onion.
- Add ground pork. Saute until the ground pork is brownish.
- Add carrots, magic sarap and peppper.
- Set aside. Let it cool.
- Drain soy sauce from the squid and then stuff the squid with     sauteed ground pork with carrots.Put toothpick on the edge of the squid so that the stuff will remain intact.
- Dip in egg and then drench in flour.
- Fry the squid 3-5 mins each side.


Here's the finish product. The squid became smaller. I didn't know it would shrink when you fry them. But it still tasted good.
